The crowd dispersed one after another. Ling Xiao also left the Ren residence. He first went to the mortuary to get some chicken blood, black ink, yellow talismans, ink pots, glutinous rice, and other things, preparing to send them to Ninth Uncle later.
Ninth Uncle was going to deal with Old Master Ren who had turned into a corpse tonight, so he definitely needed these things.
Besides that, Ling Xiao had also brought Ninth Uncle his magic weapon, the Gold Coin Sword.
Among the nine great offensive magic tools of Taoism, the peach wood sword had the strongest offensive power. It was also known as the 'Dragon-subduing Wood'. It could summon gods and send generals, and could expel evil spirits.
Legend has it that Kuafu chased after the sun and threw out the divine wood in his hand before he died, turning it into a peach forest. Therefore, the peach wood was also called the 'Dragon-subduing Wood'.
Among the nine great dharma artifacts of Taoism, besides the peach wood sword, there was also the teacher's saber. The teacher's saber could be divided into two types. The first type was made of brass. The blade was blunt, the front end was oval, and there were copper coins or small iron rings strung on the handle. Another type of refined iron, extremely sharp, also known as the "Witch Sword", engraved with the holy name of Taishang Laojun.
Third, double bronze. The most famous one was the legendary Jiang Taigong's forehead divine whip. It was three feet six inches and five minutes long and had twenty-one sections. Each section had four seals, making a total of eighty-four seals. It was extremely powerful. Not to mention demons, even righteous gods couldn't withstand it.
The fourth was the magic sword, also known as the Seven Star Sword. On both sides of the sword, there were bronze patterns of the Big Dipper and the seven stars. There were patterns of dragons and talismans near the hilt.
Zhang Tianshi's family heirloom treasures were the treasured sword and the seal of Tianshi.
In addition, there was also the Canopy Ruler, Ghost Crippling Rod, and Magic Rope, all of which were sharp weapons for exorcising evil spirits and subduing ghosts.
There was also the Ruyi, which was shaped like the word "heart" and had three points: The two ends of the head and tail are shaped like clouds or ganoderma lucidum, and the center is round. It symbolized the Three Pure Ones, and it also meant that one would respect the Three Treasures with one heart, namely the Dao Treasure, the Sutra Treasure, and the Teacher Treasure.
Finally, there was the golden sword, which was used by mages to capture ghosts and subdue demons. It could also be hung to suppress evil.
As for Ninth Uncle's Gold Coin Sword, it was a magic weapon made of 108 copper coins strung together and then reinforced.
" I'm going to officially face zombies tonight. Looks like I'll have to make some preparations," Ling Xiao thought. With a thought, he took out the Marrow Cleansing Pill from the System Space.
The pill was round and black, but there was a faint medicinal fragrance.
Without hesitation, Ling Xiao swallowed the Marrow Cleansing Pill. The pill melted in his mouth and flowed into his stomach.
" Why isn't there any reaction?!" After waiting for a moment, Ling Xiao was a little dumbfounded. He pushed a Marrow Cleansing Pill into his stomach, but there was no reaction at all.
"Gulp!"
Suddenly, Ling Xiao's stomach made a strange sound.
Ling Xiao's expression changed drastically when he heard that. He hurriedly ran towards the toilet while clutching his stomach.
After more than an hour, Ling Xiao finally came out of the toilet feeling refreshed. He felt as if he was floating on air, but his entire body was filled with endless strength, as if he could easily kill a tiger with a single punch.
"It stinks!" Suddenly, Ling Xiao felt sticky all over his body. A strange stench assaulted his nostrils. This stench was different from that of the toilet, and it was even more nauseating.
Glancing at his body, Ling Xiao suddenly felt a chill run down his spine. He did not know when, but his body was covered with a layer of black hardened skin that was extremely smelly.
Ling Xiao did not care about anything else. He immediately ran to the mortuary's water tank and jumped into it.
Ling Xiao took an hour to finish his bath. Even though he was already clean, he still showered again and again.
After washing up, Ling Xiao naturally could not wear his original clothes anymore. He simply took out the Daoist robe and boots that he had received from the system reward and changed into them.
Wearing a lotus flower crown, a dustless Daoist robe, a pair of rootless Daoist boots, and a Ghost Concealing Gourd hanging from his waist, Ling Xiao's entire temperament had undergone a tremendous change. He appeared extraordinary and had the demeanor of a Taoist.
Following that, Ling Xiao opened his attribute panel.
Name: Ling Xiao
[Genre: Male]
[Occupation: Maoshan Taoist]
[Age: 18]
[Cultivation: Peak Houtian]
[Merit Points: 420]
The Marrow Cleansing Pill cleansed the marrow and bones, removing impurities, and improving one's aptitude. Although his cultivation base did not increase, Ling Xiao felt as relaxed as a piece of unpolished jade.
It was still early, so Ling Xiao did not choose to leave. Instead, he planned to stay in the mortuary to continue studying the Taoist skills of Mao Mountain.
Even though Ling Xiao had been in possession of the Maoshan Sect's heritage for some time, the Maoshan Sect's mantras were profound and profound. It was not easy to understand them. Hence, Ling Xiao studied them carefully whenever he had the time. Up until now, he had only studied two-thirds of them.
Maoshan Sect was inherited from Perfected Lord Sanmao and was the direct descendant of Shang Qing Dao Sect!
Maoshan Shangqing Great Cave Scripture could be divided into two parts, Maoshan Taoist Technique and Maoshan Talisman!
Mao Mountain's mantra was an authentic cultivation technique of the Shang Qing lineage. It was divided into Foundation Establishment, Refining Spirit into Qi, Refining Qi into Spirit, Refining Spirit into Void, Returning to Void and finally ascending to the Immortal Realm.
It also recorded the techniques of subduing demons, subduing devils, capturing ghosts, exorcising evil spirits, and guarding houses. In addition, it also recorded some array formations and geomancy in Mao Mountain. There were no less than a thousand of them. Ling Xiao had already read through them one by one. Thanks to the support of the Nine Orifices Exquisite Heart, he had imprinted all of them into his mind.
The Mao Mountain talisman mainly introduced the Dao of talisman. It was carved with spiritual will and mana, and had the function of communicating and controlling the energy of heaven and earth. It included the drawing method of talisman, the incantation, and so on.
Ling Xiao counted and found that there were actually 108 talismans and 72 incantations recorded in the Mao Mountain Encyclopedia of Talismans. They were all-encompassing and had different functions.
[Soul-Hooking Talisman: Use this talisman to draw a person's hair, clothes, and the Soul-Hooking Spell. When the altar is made, it can capture a person's soul…After reaching a high level in the Dao, one can draw a talisman in the air and capture a person's soul from the opposite side.]
Fire Talisman: This talisman is activated by the Tao. It can produce fire. At first, it can only light a lamp. Later, its power will multiply. It can burn corpses and ghosts. It is always successful.
Corpse Suppression Talisman…
exorcism
......
[Same Body Talisman: Use this talisman to wrap someone's hair and swallow it. You can become one with them and control their actions. At first, they will affect each other. Later, they will bear the effects of each other. At a higher level, you can control their actions with your thoughts.]
However, Ling Xiao thought to himself, Isn't this Same Body Talisman used by Qiu Sheng and Wen Cai when they teased the security captain, Ah Wei?”
Mao Mountain's talisman was an extension of Mao Mountain's Daoist techniques. Strictly speaking, talisman was also a type of spell.
For example, the Divine Summoning Spell, which was the most popular divine attack among the people, summoned immortals and gods through the Divine Summoning Talisman and borrowed their strength to fight the enemy.
Of course, the so-called summoning of gods was not really summoning immortals and gods. Those with profound Dao techniques could summon their predecessors and teachers, while those with shallow cultivation could only summon the ghosts and gods of the mortal world.
In this world, there were no immortals and gods in the Heavenly Court.
The so-called immortals were merely stronger cultivators.
The so-called gods were actually the ghosts of people after death. By absorbing the power of incense in the human world, they transformed into other existences, such as the Earth God, the Five Great Immortals of Northeast China, and the ancestors of Mao Mountain who died and were worshipped.
The key to the Divine Summoning Technique was the Divine Summoning Talisman. First, one had to use their spiritual will and mana to draw the Divine Summoning Talisman, then use their soul power and incantation to activate the talisman.
Of course, as for whether the person invited was the previous teacher or a ghost, it would depend on the level of one's Dao technique.
As time passed, thanks to the double blessing of the Nine-Orifice Exquisite Heart and the Marrow Cleansing Pill, Ling Xiao felt as if he had suddenly been enlightened while studying the Maoshan mantras. He did not know if it was an illusion, but he felt that compared to before, studying the Maoshan mantras now did not feel as strenuous as before.
As time went by, it was already dusk. Ling Xiao slowly closed the last page of the Maoshan Shangqing Cave Scripture.
"I'm finally done studying!" Ling Xiao let out a long sigh and stood up, intending to move his stiff body.
[Congratulations to the host for discovering the Maoshan Shangqing Cave Scripture. Do you wish to merge it with the Taiji Art?]
When Ling Xiao heard the contents of the System's voice, he instantly felt that Daddy System's mechanical voice was like the sound of nature.
"Fuse!" Ling Xiao immediately chose to learn it. Following that, he felt countless images flashing through his mind. They were all the contents of the Mao Mountain's mantras. It was as if a huge amount of data had been transmitted to him in an instant, and it made him dizzy.
Ling Xiao did not dare to be negligent. He immediately sat down again and began to meditate.
